Weld Reviews: One of the best concert videos ever!!  2009-10-11 - I'm not even the biggest Neil Young fan and this is my favorite concert video of all time. Most of Young's best electric songs done full-tilt. The only time I saw Young in concert was on this tour and it was amazing. I had the Laser Disc. It was never available on DVD, just Laser Disc and VHS. The Blu Ray edition of this concert is at the top of my wish list. Sadly, I think it will take a big grassroots movement to get this re-issued in HD. Until then, the CDs will have to do.
Timing or band politics....?  2007-05-21 - I pre-ordered this on DVD in 2007 when Amazon said it was being released. They later sent me an email that my order has been canceled (!)
"Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this time."
Neil, I was at this show in Williamsburg, VA and have been patiently waiting 17 years for it to appear on DVD. What's going on? If someone in the band is balking just pay them off and release the DVD......
The Long Awaited DVD Release  2007-04-24 - Amazon lists this with a 2010 release date, but the rumor mill has this released shortly after Archives, Vol. 1, in late 2007/early 2008. (Along with The Complex Sessions, and Freedom Alive, also on DVD for the first time).
This is a great live concert from 1991 with Crazy Horse that is on par with "Rust Never Sleeps" from the late seventies. The reviews listed in the VHS section say it all....the highlights include the opening with Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner blaring through the speakers, while a roadie sets up an oversized mike, as a homage to the road-eyes from "Rust". Then the peace sign in the background drops, revealing the Crazy Horse emblem, and the band plays "Hey, Hey My, My", and the concert is under way. Watch also for an electric version of Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind".
Watching this concert from 1991, with it's anti-war imagery, demonstrates how little in the world has changed in 16 years. But thankfully, NY keeps rockin' in the free world.
